06 Oct Book Launch: “Shadows Across The Golden Land: Myanmar’s Opening, Foreign Influence and Investment”
Myanmar has captured the interest of foreign investors in the recent decade since the country began to move toward democracy and open to the world. In a timely analysis of the country’s political and economic progress, Associate Professor Simon Tay, Chairman of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs (SIIA), and long-time observer of Myanmar, in his latest book, “Shadows Across The Golden Land: Myanmar’s Opening, Foreign Influence and Investment”, provides readers with an assessment that integrates analysis with on-the-ground experience and insights. The book presents readers with a clear view of how the country might progress beyond current obstacles, and highlights the opportunities that remain for those willing to engage constructively for the longer term in the opening of this frontier economy and once-pariah state.
“Shadows Across The Golden Land: Myanmar’s Opening, Foreign Influence and Investment” is now available in bookstores (NUS Coop, Bookhaven, Kinokuniya and Goguru) in Singapore and online.
